Noticed slight overheating but questionable yellow foam in overfill?

Sorry to hear that and I feel for you.
If it's truly the head (one of the heads) and it's repairable, that should only cost 3-4k. Are you in the US? A few folks here went through head repair so hopefully they will chime in.

You have a cracked cylinder more than likely.. I tend to lean toward a cracked head when I see intermix of this color, and quantity, but those bubbles give it away.
No telling what diagnosis the dealer will give you. That said, I haven't ever seen a head gasket from an M96 fail and create this issue. Last year alone we repaired 33 cases of this (most of them were cracked heads), and none of those had failed head gaskets.

This happens to new owners all the time these days. Did you have a PPI carried out?

Wow! The dealership will take care of it?? You lucked out big time!!!!
My guess is that the previous owner knew about the cracked head, traded it in or sold it to the clueless dealer, and he sold it to you.
As Jake says, the coincidence is unlikely.
